Moreover, he said Iran and Pakistan are victims of destructive actions by some elements on the common borders and for this reason, some measures to protect the borders, such as fencing, are very important.

He said that we never want the miscreants and enemies of peace to act against the interests of Iran and then flee to Pakistan or cause misunderstandings between the two countries.

Furthermore, he underlined special interest and love between the people of Iran and Pakistan.

The governments of the two countries also coordinate on border management, and we believe that there is no lack of cooperation between Tehran and Islamabad.

Ex-NSA Janjua said that fencing our borders with Iran is considered a decisive action against miscreants, drug traffickers and human traffickers.

Because terrorist elements and miscreants always try to sabotage the atmosphere of peace on the borders of the two countries.
